Kitchen Kitsch...

The latest addition to our faucet collection is this adorable paper towel holder.

So cute in a country kitchen, laundry room, mudroom, garden shed or outdoor potting bench.

Don't forget our wildly popular coordinating soap dish!

Great gifts for the gardener in your life!

Oh Votivo!!!

We are so thrilled to offer this fabulous candle line in our Harvest stores.

If you have not yet enjoyed the amazing scents in the Votivo Collection, we highly encourage you to come in and sniff for yourself!

These long-burning, fragrant candles come wrapped in their signature packaging, and make a lovely little hostess gift!

 

Drygoods Design

I am so excited to share this fantastic resource with all of you!

Keli Faw, a college friend of ours with amazing style and creative talent, (go UO ducks!) has grown her unique business idea into a stylish on-line marketplace and is soon to open a brick and mortar shop of her own!

Keli's main business, Drygoods Design, specializes in the sourcing and sales of fantastic fabrics for your sewing, crafting, and creative projects. With an amazing eye for color and design, Keli has put together an extensive collection of cutting edge materials that you most certainly will not find in your local fabric superstore, (sorry JoAnn's).

Not only has she succeeded in building this tremendous fabric resource, this busy mother of two has gone above and beyond to design a gift line of her own, uniquely titled, Bread and Salt. With her adorable fabrics, she has hand-stitched gifts for babies, mothers, and the hippest of hostesses! She gladly customizes her original designs upon request.

See these darling samples of her work below...

hip swaddling blankets

bibs and burp cloths

You'll also find fun packaging materials and ideas in her on-line marketplace...

Find Keli's shops HERE and on Etsy, and if you're in the Seattle area, look for her showroom opening soon in Ballard.

Congrats on a great concept, Keli, and thanks for sharing your creativity with us! Best wishes for success in your new Ballard shop!

Heath for the Hostess!

In case you're searching for a fabulous hostess gift this holiday season, I thought I'd tell you about the lovely one that I just received from our dear friends. This gorgeous handmade vase is from Heath Ceramics, a locally-owned workshop here in the Bay Area. 

Our guests didn't even know, but I've been a long-time fan of the amazing creations from Heath Ceramics! I was so excited when I opened it, I had to display it right away (hence the leaves and branches instead of something more appealing). Just goes to show you that a marvelously shaped object needs little ornamentation.

Every Heath piece is still made in their original factory in Sausalito, California and crafted in the same manner as it has been for the past 55 years.

 

I'm so excited about my new gift, and wanted to share this wonderful resource with you. Link here to view the amazing collection from Heath Ceramics, and find out more about this wonderful company.

Below are a few inspiring images of some of my favorite pieces in the Heath Collection...

beyond dishware, they also make a unique line of house numbers and amazing individual tiles...

One of my favorite Heath collections is the Bottlehood Collection.

As described on their website the collection is... "A marriage of craftsmanship and environmentalism. BottleHood converts empty bottles destined for landfills into functional and unique glassware for your table."

Be sure to visit Heath Ceramics on-line, and stop by their Sausalito showroom if you're ever in the area.
